FW3A, a TLF/BLF EDC flashlight - SST-20 available, coupon codes public

I would like to be put down for 1 light. Iā€™ve never used this forum before so if Iā€™m posting in the wrong place or need to give additional info, please let me know.

This is the right place. Youā€™ll see your name on the list after the next update in a week or so. Welcome to BLF.

I donā€™t see me name on the list yet so I figured I would repeat me request for one again here. I definitely want one of these lights

I also checked the list and canā€™t see my name. Interested in 1 light. Thanks.

As mentioned here (FW3A, a TLF/BLF EDC flashlight - SST-20 available, coupon codes public - #5369 by pepinfaxera) your name will be added to the list being updated by pepinfaxera :wink:

Please be patient :wink:

Your name is here, on the updated list of pepinfaxera:

BTW folks, whenever you want to find if your names are on the lists use the ā€œSearch within thread functionā€ and/or check the most recently updated list by pepinfaxera. He updates the list when he can, so sometimes it may take more than just a few days to do so :wink: And we all need to thank him for the effort doing here so far :wink:

:person_facepalming: Thanksā€¦. didnā€™t realise there was an updated list!

Actually there are 2 lists, one in the 1st page (that is updated basing on pepinfaxera list) and the one I linked above, by pepinfaxera!
No problem at all :wink: For the people not following the thread, it is hard to keep up sometimes, so we help each other :wink:

I would like to be put on the list for one, thank you to everyone who has put so much into it.

The interest list is finally updated in post #4.

Iā€™m updating the list
Sorry Iā€™m late,
Iā€™ve been too late.
Excuse me. Excuse me.

SKY69: You have applied at Post #5360, #5376 and #5393.
How many flashlights do you want in total? ā€¦ x ā€¦ units?

I must love you guys or something, because I went through the entire thread history and categorized every post as a [+] request, a [] cancellation, or a [c]omment with no effect on the list. All 5400 posts. With repeated + and entries when people wanted more than one.

Hereā€™s the complete list.

Pepinfaxeraā€™s list was extremely helpful, but even with that, and even with the tool I wrote to help automate a lot of this, it still took a while. Itā€™s pretty streamlined now though, so future updates should go faster.

Hi.
As soon as I finish updating my list,
Iā€™ll report pending corrections.
I see

Bob_McBob: has requested 3.

Good catch! Iā€™m not surprised I missed something in 5400 comments. :slight_smile:

Hahaha, ruthless.

We do feel loved, TK.

+1ā€¦. Well said!! :+1:
Itā€™s good to feel the ā€™luvā€™ā€¦ā€¦ or the ā€œsomethingā€, whatever the case may be. :wink:

All 5400 posts :open_mouth: ā€¦ā€¦ Wowā€¦ that is dedication for sure TK!! :beer: :+1:

Thanks for your efforts Pepinfaxera and ToyKeeper

A question for everyoneā€¦

There has been some difficulty obtaining LH351D 4000K 90CRI emitters, because only one supplier has them in stock. Otherwise, there is a 5 or 6 week wait time to get the LEDs.

Digikey has some in stock, but Bob_McBob tested them and found them a little on the green side. Itā€™s picture #2 in that album, on the left.

So which do you think would be better:

  1. Make the lights now, using parts from Digikey. Based on Bobā€™s small sample, the tint might be above the BBL.
  2. Wait ~6 weeks until a more specific tint bin can be obtained from the manufacturer.
  3. Make the XP-L HI model now, and do the LH351D lights later.

Hereā€™s the beam shot again, cropped to remove the other light in the original picture:

I may be biased in that I want the XP-L Hi version, but Iā€™d say produce the XP-L Hi now and then LH351D later. If I was going for the Samsung version Iā€™d rather wait for the possibility of a good tint given what Iā€™ve seen with my LH351D emitters.

First, thanks ToyKeeper and pepinfaxera, without both of you these would be quite messy by this time :blush: You should get free lights!! Just saying!!

About the options above, I would say this:
